Jackfruit Puttanesca Pasta

Delicious and adaptable Jackfruit Puttanesca Pasta that is the perfect weekday dinner.

Jackfruit is a new ingredient that I have been trying recently. It’s a fruit that pulls apart to look very similar to pulled pork. As this recipe is very flexible if you don’t like the sound of jackfruit then you can always change this recipe to use chicken or prawns instead.

Jackfruit Puttanesca Pasta

Ingredients

1canjackfruit(this can be optional and the sauce works well without it)

4tbspolive oil

1/2red onionfinely diced

4mediumgarlic clovescrushed

100gvine tomatoessliced into quarters

25gcapersroughly 2 tbsp, finely chopped

50gblack pitted olivesroughly 20 slices into halves

1heaped tspmiso paste

1canchopped tomatoes

handfulFresh parsleychopped

Gluten free spaghettiI use brown rice

Method

Drain the jackfruit and place into a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes to allow it to soften

Meanwhile prepare the onion, garlic, capers, olives and tomatoes

Heat a pan on a medium heat with the crushed garlic, onion to cook down for a couple minutes

Place the spaghetti into boiling water for roughly 8 minutes until el dente (we will be adding it to the sauce to finish off cooking)

Now add the tomatoes, olives and capers to cook down for a couple minutes

Now add the miso paste and the can of tomatoes and stir.

Drain the jackfruit and add to the pan and press the chunks with a fork so they break apart and stir. Leave this to cook down for a further few minutes

Finally with tongs take the spaghetti from the boiling water and place directly into the pan with the sauce along a small amount of the pasta water (roughly 3-4 tbsps) and a handful of freshly chopped parsley and stir thoroughly

Allow this to simmer together for a further few minutes before serving

Tips

The jackfruit is completely optional in this recipe. You could use chicken or prawns instead if you prefer.
